Also, Wayne's World 2. And I remember Will Farrel did a parody of the Sound of Silence sequence (the pool one) in that pretty crummy comedy he was in a couple of years ago. Old School, I think.

It's just one of those movies who have permeated pop culture to such a degree that it's been referenced and parodied in every direction. So when you finally see it, all the references fall into place. Same goes for Citizen Kane, Wizard of Oz, The Godfather and to a surprising degree Deliverance. Which is also awesome, by the way, in case you haven't seen it. Voigt is good in it, and it's one of the very few movies where Burt Reynolds doesn't play Burt Reynolds.
